I had a dentist appointment today. It was uneventful: my teeth were scaled, flossed, polished, and flourided, and my tongue and gums were examined for any suspicious activity. All was well in my mouth, and soon enough I was on my way into a lovely spring afternoon to walk back to school.
But as I rambled my thoughts did, too, and I considered the dentist's last words to me-- Enjoy the rest of the spring and have a wonderful summer! See you in the fall!-- and just like that, the soft air turned a bit chill, and I imagined the burgeoning leaves on the trees spreading wide like open hands and changing from spring green to red, yellow, and orange.
I shook it off, though. October is a long way away.
